“Jumpin’ Jack” Morris cured me of baseball fanship years ago...
And I was a BIG baseball fan.
Cubs have been no-hit through 6.
Someone already said “I don’t care about baseball”, so I can’t say, “in before”. But King was masterful; and the Padres are hot.
Manny Machado did a great acting job to try and make an infield hit look like an error. The scorer wasn’t fooled, since Nico Hoerner would have beaten it out anyway. So no-hitter gone.
So close.
I like the Padres to beat the Dodgers.
I used to care about baseball - I can recite history and statistics to you.
But our professional athletes cured me of it - just like the NFL US-disrepecting thugs cured a lot of us of football.
No you weren't, nobody could ever "cure" me of my "baseball fanship" (sic). It's about the game I love and not about the individual players, managers, owners, commissioners, sportscasters or anything else. It's always been about the game and I'll never let anything or anyone else spoil it for me.
See my reply #9 to kiryandil on this thread. It’s also meant for guys like you.
Oh, I just realized it’s you again... Never mind.
